The Ballad of Jedi Clampett

about

Not really a lot to say, except that I was surprised no one had done it before.

lyrics

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed,
Poor moisture farmer, barely kept his family fed.
Then one day, he was going round a bend,
And saw some storm troopers fighting crazy old Ben.

Kenobi, that is.
Screaming like a krayt dragon.
Or maybe Gohan from Dragonball Z.

Well, the first thing you know, Jed’s helping in the fight,
And Ben pulls out a saber made of light.
He says “Alderaan is the place I gotta be”,
So we loaded up the speeder and we went to Mos Eisley.

Wretched hive, scum and villainy.

Now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and Obi-wan,
They came out of lightspeed in the rubble of Alderaan.
You're all invited back next week to watch them save the day.
With Jeh-three-pio, Darth Drysdale, and Princess Leia Mae.

On the Millennium Chicken that is.
This ain't the still yer lookin for.
Take yer restraining bolt off.
The force be with y’all, y’hear?
